Cinematic 2D Anime-Style Illustration
✦ Gemini / ChatGPT Tested
Using an uploaded portrait as the subject reference, create a vertical 9:16 image. Redraw the subject as a polished cinematic 2D character illustration. Preserve recognizable facial structure while simplifying forms through clean outlines, gentle cel shading and soft painted gradients. Use expressive eyes, layered hair shapes and subtle texture rather than a glossy photographic finish. Light one side with a warm rim glow and use muted teal shadows for depth. Keep the background softly atmospheric and secondary to the face. Give the vertical portrait a nostalgic animated-film-poster mood with crisp details and balanced proportions.
